LGR - Repairing & Installing a Parallel Port CD-ROM

My first question was going to be "why not just find an external SCSI drive and expansion card?" Then I realized that's probably nowhere. Near as prevalent in the used market. 😀

Great Episode! More of this please!

Talked about this in the video as well. Since this computer's expansion ports are filled up, parallel is the better option :)

Well... someone was clearly happy with their Casio keyboard. Seriously, WTF was that soundtrack? It just sounds like a mess of notes.

Doesn't it feel good to finally get to something that you bought years ago, just sitting in storage until now? I would certainly think so, haha. Glad you got to do this! Also, I see Jeff Goldblum in your PC screen. Might want to get that checked out. ;) But I'm guessing that's not considered a problem for you, unlike the Extreme Paintball soundtrack :D

Did you check if EPP mode on the parallel port in switched on the BIOS? Otherwise the maximum speed you'd get is about equivalent to a single speed CD drive.

I honestly thought that music was played at double the intended speed. What an assault on the ears :D

We had those in my high school too. We are talking 1998.

All that vintage software and not a single audio CD?! I think you need to do some more thrifting! :)

"Plans for the future" about the past. ;)

I had one of the 4x backpacks for my college laptop. I remember the pass through was very finicky with my hp printer.

Dear goodness. I don't think I've heard muzak that bad before. Very interesting to see it how it hooks up - it may not be fast, but it looks like it's a workable enough solution for machines that needed it :)

I was one of the extremely few people entrusted to handle the external CD-RW drive we had in our tech lab at the high school I went to, due to how expensive it was. Since a CD held more data than most of the hard drives at the school, I had to burn a 3D animation project I was doing straight to CD as it was being rendered... Actually, I still HAVE that CD... I should consider showcasing those really early 3D animations I did in a video or something... ;)

It absolutely was. I remember having to set up these Okidata printers with those in high school. Beyond frustrating.

Totally, even if reads at like 1x it was a lifesaver back then since our school had so many of these PCs! Only two expansion slots, fun times.

Should have grabbed your Quake 1 CD instead. haha. Either way, this is really cool. Love seeing these videos. Looking forward to seeing your ZIP Drive videos soon!
